After running a bunch of normal control games I have to honestly say its a mixed bag. Some games excellent gunplay with limited ability usage and that ~timezone.. when supers inevitably stop some gunplay.. and thats fine.. if its a balanced match no worries. Then other times its ability spam-fest extravaganza with stacks supplementing/synergizing builds (even duos if not trips).... I'm not sure guns are even used sometimes.. most recently frozen by titans.. clones and nades (slightly better than before true).. and the new supers are just annoying as.. I'm shooting this roaming super... its gotta put um down.. if I shoot stuff in your game its gotta do something. Again its mixed sometimes.. maybe even more than 50% mostly gunplay with limited abilities (awesome).. but thats down to the players.... down to the random luck of your lobby.. if players want to spam they can and I think Bungie is supposed to control that.. and control those stacks.
